If they were not "legal" shoes, then a few will be fined this week cause I saw a few defensive players wearing them as well.

I noticed a few weeks ago that it looked like Cutler's shoes had red in them. I think it was the first game that Bennett wore the orange ones. Must be orange, but a darker orange than our Uni's or something.

I don't think that was red Benji. It sure looked to me like the same orange shoes with the Nike on the back of the heel that he's been wearing but with black tape or a black sock like spats adding enough black to get him by. If other players were wearing them I'm guessing that was a way to tossing it back at Gooddell. They can't keep half the team off the field because of it and still have a game.

I was streaming the game and got a good enough look at them several times to see they weren't red. That would be even more of a violation I would think since that's not listed anywhere as a Bears color.
